Large data centre projects intended to support AI and cloud workloads are facing power shortages and grid delays. Some are also facing planning disputes, land-use concerns, and rising construction costs. A report by The Guardian, citing data from the Uptime Institute, said 250 data centre projects requiring more than 100MW of power each were announced […]

AI is pushing technology companies to rethink the foundations of cloud computing. As more businesses adopt AI tools, the industry is spending heavily on the hardware and data centres needed to run them. Much of the current spending is focused on infrastructure rather than software. Chips, networking equipment, power systems, and large data centres are […]

Large financial institutions rarely overhaul their technology in one dramatic move. Change tends to happen in stages, with systems gradually shifted, consolidated, and refined over time. Nationwide Building Society’s expanded cloud services partnership with AWS fits squarely into that pattern. Rather than signalling a new direction, the agreement reflects a decision to go further down […]

The cloud is no longer treated as a place to experiment. For many enterprises, it has become the default environment for running AI systems that support daily work. That shift, more than any headline figure, explains why cloud spending continues to climb. Instead of short trials or isolated pilots, AI workloads are now tied to […]

Large organisations often expect cloud projects to bring clarity and control. In practice, the work can introduce new layers of cost and complexity. That tension is now visible in the Bank of England, where a long-running effort to move internal systems to the cloud has grown far beyond its original budget. Procurement records show the […]

Building autonomous vehicles is no longer just a question of sensors and software. It has become a test of how well companies can manage vast amounts of data, run large-scale simulations, and validate safety across millions of scenarios before a vehicle ever reaches the road. For automotive firms working on self-driving systems, the ability to […]
